• Lead by example—architect and implement infrastructure solutions using Terraform and AWS best practices • Take ownership from external DevOps team, stabilizing operations and establishing internal team processes • Define project scope, break down complex initiatives, and guide contractors through execution • Evolve our IaC practices and ensure consistency across the growing infrastructure • Own AWS infrastructure security, compliance, and cost optimization • Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation • Collaborate with engineering teams to support application needs and performance goals • Develop infrastructure roadmap to support scaling and new product requirements • Mentor contractors with varying skill levels, elevating team capabilities • Evolve and refine monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes

• Design, deploy, and maintain VM and Kubernetes infrastructure on GCP and AWS across dozens of clusters spanning development, staging, and production environments in multiple regions. • Coordinate with your peers in your direct team as well as across teams to ensure that the tasks you’re working on are going to solve the problems that we need them to solve. • Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform modules, managing resources through Spacelift or equivalent Terraform Automation and Collaboration Software (TACOS). Provision cloud infrastructure including networking, compute, storage, and security components primarily on GCP, with secondary AWS support. • Implement and manage workflows with sophisticated multi-layer configuration management. • Build and maintain comprehensive observability solutions using Grafana Cloud, Prometheus/Mimir, and OTel collectors. Design Grafana dashboards, configure alerting rules, and ensure visibility across all platform components. • Manage certificate lifecycle, DNS automation, ingress controllers, and service mesh networking with Cilium. • Partner with Engineering, Product, Compliance, and Security teams to design resilient, scalable systems. Consult on capacity planning, disaster recovery, and architectural decisions for cloud-native applications. • Identify and eliminate toil through automation. Write scripts, develop tools, and build CI/CD pipelines to improve operational efficiency and reduce manual work. • Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation as part of a globally distributed team, responding to incidents and driving post-incident reviews.

• Lead two high-performing teams: a Dev Tooling team focused on CI/CD pipelines, developer experience, and internal platforms, and a Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team focused on system health, performance, secops, and incident response. • Improve communication and collaboration, including reuse and ownership, across DevOps, Product, and Platform teams. • Improve our processes for deployment, monitoring, incident management, and release engineering, ensuring speed and reliability. • Drive the adoption of newer GitOps practices, with an emphasis on MLOps and AI-related infrastructure and tooling. • Ensure productive and collaborative communications within, and across, your teams and stakeholders. • Own design and implementation of infrastructure and tooling roadmap capabilities by working with internal, data, and product teams as necessary. • Work in partnership with Product and Engineering to ensure technical health, work through infrastructure challenges, ensure products ship reliably, and manage operational risks. • Participate in technical and architecture reviews across your teams and the wider engineering organization.

• Lead and mentor a team of DevOps engineers, providing technical guidance and career development • Manage day-to-day operations of Hedera production and preproduction infrastructure • Coordinate with Hedera Governing Council members on operational matters and infrastructure requirements • Design and implement automation solutions to reduce operational toil and improve efficiency • Own and evolve infrastructure as code practices using Terraform and Ansible • Establish and maintain incident management processes, including on-call rotations and post-mortem reviews • Drive continuous improvement initiatives for monitoring, observability, and alerting systems • Manage capacity planning and scaling strategies for cloud and bare metal infrastructure • Ensure 24/7 operational readiness and lead response to critical incidents • Lead hiring efforts to grow the DevOps team, including defining role requirements, interviewing candidates, and making hiring decisions • Collaborate with development teams to improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes • Define and track team KPIs, SLOs, and operational metrics • Manage team budget and resource allocation • Interface with senior leadership on strategic planning and technical roadmap
